Syrian singer Samo Zein has answered Lebanese singer Elissa’s recent remarks about not knowing who she is by saying that he too does not know any singer by the name of Elissa. Samo stated angrily that he was shocked with Elissa’s remarks in a press release published for her in one of the Egyptian newspapers.

According to the internet website MBC.net, Samo also said that Elissa had recently stated that she did not know who Egyptian singer Mohammad Hamaki, whose popularity has spread beyond the Arab world, and before him she said she never heard of composer Mohammad Raheem.
